Message Passing Based Maneuvering Target Localization in Distributed MIMO Radar with Heterogeneous Measurements

This work addresses the maneuvering target localization problem with measurements of bistatic range (BR), bistatic range rate (BRR) and derivative of bistatic range rate (DBRR) from a distributed multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar. To achieve high robustness to outliers, we adopt an ℓ1 norm based approach, and formulate a least absolute deviation (LAD) problem with heterogeneous measurements for jointly estimating target motion parameters of position, velocity and acceleration. Then we
